Orientalism — What Edward Said can teach us about the US-Israeli war against Iran

The illegal US-Israeli war on Iran can, of course, be discussed in terms of imperialism, colonialism, and capitalism. But there is a more specific and often overlooked dimension to the conflict. It connects to the ideas of the prominent Palestinian thinker Edward Said and his theory of Orientalism Since the war began on February 28, US President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed victory and insisted that Washington has reached its goals. In reality, the war for Trump has become a quagmire, shaped by a series of miscalculations by him and his advisors. Large-scale military attacks, heavy sanctions, and political threats did…

Israel-bought politicians don’t care what a hate march actually is

Israel lobbyists — and UK politicians who take donations from Israel lobbyists — characterise protests against Israel’s genocide as ‘hate’. It’s a bare-faced lie. But the far-right is full of hate yet many MPs refuse to say so. The ‘protest’ (riots) in Southampton on Tuesday, egged on by fascists Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson, put it beyond doubt. View this post on Instagram A post shared by MEND Community (@mendcommunity) Israel-aligned politicians attack humanitarians instead Yet the Starmer regime is treating this real hate as a side issue. It’s too busy waging war on peaceful protest, free speech on genocide and…

Palantir gets to decide what weapons Britain should buy

UK ministers and generals are using Palantir software to decide which Palantir products to buy. By modelling battles through the far-right tech firm’s Foundry software, officials hope to outsource thinking … then again, thinking has rarely been our governments’ strong suit. Anyway, the Murdoch-owned Times reported on 1 June:  The US tech firm Palantir is helping ministers and military chiefs decide what weapons to invest in so they can win a war against the likes of Russia, it is understood. A senior military source told the paper: The CIA-backed firm evaluates force mixes — such as the balance of drones versus…

What to Get Dad This Father’s Day: Tools He’ll Use for the Next 20 Years

Father’s Day gifts are often chosen based on emotion, but without long-term practicality. As a result, the thing looks nice at the moment they are given, but quickly loses its purpose in everyday life. That is why more and more people are turning to practical solutions – tools that are not just given but actually used for years. Why Most Father’s Day Gifts End Up in a Drawer Most gifts fail not because of quality, but because they lack a practical function. They either duplicate items they already own or do not fit into daily routines. Even items from the wood…

Property investment still attracts people for one simple reason: bricks feel more real than numbers on a screen. Stocks jump up and down every hour. Crypto trends change before lunch. An apartment building? You can walk around it, touch the walls, hear the traffic outside. In 2026, buyers are paying closer attention to location quality, infrastructure, and developer reputation instead of chasing flashy promises. This guide looks at what first-time and mid-level investors often miss — and what deserves real attention before money changes hands.

Milburn report is contradicted by what the DWP is doing

Milburn report is contradicted by what the DWP is doing

Yesterday saw the release of the interim report of the Milburn Review into youth unemployment. However, it completely contradicts everything the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is already doing to make life harder for unemployed and disabled young people. A media circus instead of support The long-awaited report was supposed to delve into why so many young people are unemployed. However, that was never going to be the whole story when it was run by Alan Milburn. Once you got past the DWP-created media circus, the report was Milburn’s attempt to prove his foregone conclusion that young people were faking…
